When you bring up any interface, with explicit IPV6
addresses or not, the IPV6 stack seeks out local routers
and whatnot using multicast and assigns the interface
a link-local IPV6 address.

So no matter what you're doing IPV6.

I suspect the OOPS you hit might be related to
IPSEC stack work done recently by Herbert Xu who
has been added to the CC:.

I doubt poor Ilpo should be contacted as I doubt his
TCP work is involved :-)
